Sad that this expensive software and hardware still doesn't
compare in configurability to editing files by hand in vim. I've
had to resort to this to set up Mailman aliases, because the GUI
is so broken...
It's not "broken" at all, it's just very restricted in what it does.
Indeed, though it feels "broken" when it takes 20 minutes to save the
settings, vs. 2 minutes to edit the config file... but that's is my
own private Server Admin problem, not related to my original
question. :-)
I am fond of Postfix, fell in love with its modular delivery
system and simple install and flexible setup some years ago when
setting up a Linux mailserver.
Then you would probably be interested in exim.
Thank you, Dan, for your kind pointers.
One of my concerns in gutting the mail system and replacing it with
Exim is that when I'm done, it should still be administrable from
Server Admin; I'm the only senior admin at this company, and no one
else has any UNIX system administration experience.
If and when I eventually part ways, I'd like to leave them with a
simple-to-manage server. I realize that this is a bit of a pipe
dream, but I'd like to step forward assured of that goal, even though
it may mean using TMDA and not using the keen features of Exim.
This raises the philosophical question, "Can one be an OS X System
Admin and not know much about UNIX or the command line?" I've found
that without my prior experience as Linux sysadmin, I'd be sunk when
it comes to getting things working on OS X server.
